I’m an Orthodox Christian but this year, Catholic Christians are celebrating Easter on the same day (this doesn’t always happen, sometimes the dates coincide but sometimes they differ), so I’d like to take advantage of this opportunity to wish everyone all the best.

Why Do So Few Domainers/Investors Think About Humility?
Posted on 18 April 2014 by Andrei
I’ve noticed an interesting thing about domainers or to take things one step further, investors in general. Most of them seem to think they can predict the future and if their ego got a boost after being right in the past… watch out 🙂
(Almost) Nobody Is Unbiased
Posted on 17 April 2014 by Andrei
The debates are beginning to heat up when it comes to new gTLDs and during such debates, a lot of domainers are unfortunately using strong words without realizing that they’re far from objective when it comes to the matter at hand.
Let’s be honest, almost nobody is unbiased.
New gTLDs Will Affect *All* Portfolio Owners
Posted on 15 April 2014 by Andrei
Now sure, the “super premiums” probably won’t be affected but let’s be honest, not even the best domainers have portfolios that consist only of amazing domains. Pretty much everyone has “so-so” domains and it’s precisely those domains that will be affected by new gTLDs.
Let me explain why.
Quick Friday Tip: Start Using Two Screens
Posted on 11 April 2014 by Andrei
Your initial reaction might be something along the lines of “Why do I need *two* screens?” and it’s understandable, I had a similar one but after I started using two screens, I never looked back. Maybe you’re a domainer, maybe you’re an online entrepreneur, maybe both. It doesn’t matter, you’ll experience an impressive productivity boost either way. Don’t just take my word for it though, study after study has proven that an additional screen helps quite a bit.
Economic Difficulties Despite Innovation?
Posted on 10 April 2014 by Andrei
As domainers, we know perhaps more than almost anyone else just how important the appearance of the Internet is to humanity. I think it’s reasonable to compare the Internet to let’s say the car in terms of impact. The car eliminated a lot of physical boundaries by allowing us to travel much faster, whereas the Internet took things to the next level by allowing us to interact with one another effortlessly.
4 Possible “Dot Com vs. New gTLDs” Scenarios – Which One Did You Choose?
Posted on 08 April 2014 by Andrei
At the end of the day, I think the situation is relatively straightforward. There are 4 possible new gTLD scenarios or actually just three because one of them has two ramifications:
It Takes Just as Much Effort to Close a Large Sale
Posted on 07 April 2014 by Andrei
Domainers hear this statement from successful investors time and time again, yet I don’t think most of them give it too much thought. When you hear about a blockbuster domain sale, you’re tempted to say something along the lines of “sure but the seller is a veteran, I could have never pulled it off” as if the transaction in question somehow involved magic.
Should You Buy Domains You Don’t Understand?
Posted on 06 April 2014 by Andrei
Let me just give you one quick example: I don’t “understand” NNNN dot coms. To be honest, I don’t consider them all that memorable and for the most part, am reasonably confident that a lot of people (with notable exceptions such as individuals from China) would find your domain confusing should you choose to use a NNNN dot com as your brand.
Do You Check What End Users Do After Buying From You?
Posted on 04 April 2014 by Andrei
Now sure, the “I wonder what this guy did with my domain?” temptation is definitely there but should you actually go through the trouble of checking what happened after the sale? I have mixed feelings about this because in my opinion, there are two “dimensions” we need to be aware of.
